Students in Ms.Knutson's elementary AG class have been busy counting down to hatch day with excitement and anticipation for our incubated eggs to hatch! We've made calendars and candled the eggs to check out the developing baby chicks! 🐤🐣





Most of you by now have noticed the Road Closure signs posted along Highway 131. The road will remain open to local traffic, meaning that families will still be able to travel Hwy 131 to get your children back and forth to school. Likewise, the road construction will not alter our bus routes at this time. Once the repaving project begins in our area, you will notice lane closures, resulting in single lane travel for stretches of Hwy 131. We do not expect that to start in our area until later this summer. As with any construction project, plans can always change. We will be prepared and communicate to our families in the event that this project negatively impacts our families' ability to travel to and from school, or impacts the timing of our bus routes. If you have specific questions on the Hwy 131 resurfacing project, please reach out directly to the Crawford County Highway Department, or by visiting the Wisconsin DOT website at https://projects.511wi.gov/wis131-wis60pleasant/.

For high school students, ALL testing will take place on Tuesday, March 25th:
Juniors will take the official ACT, which has strict timing requirements.
Freshmen and sophomores will take the PreACT on the same day.
How You Can HelpWe ask for your support in reinforcing the importance of these assessments. Please help ensure your student is ready by:
✅ Making sure they attend school on their testing days.
✅ Avoiding scheduling appointments or early dismissals on March 25th.
✅ Encouraging a good night’s sleep and a healthy dinner the night before.
